Paleozoic geodynamics and architecture of the Mongolian Altai Zone

The Mongolian Altai Zone is a part of the extensive Cambrian-Ordovician accretionary system located at the junction of the Siberian craton to the north and Tarim and North China cratons to the south. It extends approximately 2,000 km from Russia to Mongolia and represents one of the critical element...

It extends approximately 2,000 km from Russia to Mongolia and represents one of the critical elements for reconstructing the early Paleozoic geodynamics of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB). The studied section comprises a succession of deformed low- and high-grade metasedimentary rocks characterised by dominant terrigenous components mixed with volcanogenic material. The detrital zircons analysis revealed two separate groups a) more mature siliciclastic sediments (mostly sandstones) with maximum depositional age of Cambrian-Ordovician (ca. 463-489 Ma; zircon U-Pb) and b) more juvenile greywacke type sediments with Ordovician-Silurian (ca. 438-446 Ma; zircon U-Pb) maximum depositional age. UPb ages of detrital zircons show Cambrian-Ordovician (εHf(t) values -24.8 to +16.0) and Late Archean to Neoproterozoic source (εHf(t) values -35.5 to +10.4) and are interpreted as derived from the Ikh Mongol continental arc and the Baydrag continent. The greywackes, in addition, contain Silurian detrital zircons, with εHf(t) values from -0.5 to +13, suggesting syn-depositional contribution of juvenile material from a nearby magmatic arc. Both types of sediments are affected by Devonian (ca. 369-382 Ma; zircon U-Pb) metamorphism and magmatism granites, as well as stroingly reworked during the Permian (ca. 271-296; zircon U-Pb) under various metamorphic conditions.
